For example, if I have 100 x 16GB physical servers, each running VMware with 10 virtual machines on each physical host, is that 100 HU's or 1,000?</P> Thu, 30 Jul 2020 21:26:37 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Licensing-physical-virtual/m-p/115274#M9969 adam 2020-07-30T21:26:37Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Licensing-physical-virtual/m-p/115275#M9970 <P>It is per physical or virtual machine on which you install a OneAgent. Typically, that means on the VMs used by the applications you wish to monitor. We can give you VMWare hypervisor info via a VCenter integration without installing OneAgents on the physical hosts.</P> Thu, 30 Jul 2020 21:31:11 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Licensing-physical-virtual/m-p/115275#M9970 dave_mauney 2020-07-30T21:31:11Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Licensing-physical-virtual/m-p/115276#M9971 <P>So by licensing a physical server that is running VMware, it does not allow for all of the virtual machines running on that one server to use Infrastructure Monitoring? </P><P>How is the vcenter integration licensed?</P><P><BR /></P><P>Thank you very much for this clarity.</P><P><BR /></P> Thu, 30 Jul 2020 22:13:47 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Licensing-physical-virtual/m-p/115276#M9971 adam 2020-07-30T22:13:47Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Licensing-physical-virtual/m-p/115277#M9972 <P>Typically you'll be interested in installing OneAgent on your virtual machines - therefore host units will count for 1000x size.

The typical install is: install on the VMs that are of interest from an application perspective, and optionally integrate with VCenter to get the VCenter perspective on the performance of the guests. </P> Mon, 03 Aug 2020 17:16:26 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Licensing-physical-virtual/m-p/115278#M9973 dave_mauney 2020-08-03T17:16:26Z
